National Cancer Institute Symposium on Integrative Cancer Biology and Genomics Second Symposium on Translational Genomics
The field of translational genomics is rapidly progressing, yet the systematic application of current knowledge to improve patient care remains a formidable challenge. This symposium will provide a dedicated forum for the advancement, implementation and exchange of information on noncoding RNAs, next generation sequencing, and epigenomics and genetic variation for translation into clinical practice with the ultimate goal to improve the health of patients with cancer.Organizing Committee: Laufey Amundadottir, Curtis Harris, Timothy Harris, Javed Khan, Glenn Merlino, Thomas Ried, and Snorri Thorgeirsson
Topics include:
- Noncoding RNAs: The Dark Matter of the Genome
- Next Generation Sequencing for Next Generation Medicine
- Epigenomics and genetic variation
